Endurance

Brought to you by the world’s foremost aluminum frame engineers, Defy breaks all the rules of 
what was previously thought possible for an entry-level road bike. With its ALUXX SL frameset, 
Defy is lighter, stiffer and better riding than many composite bikes on the market. 

— 10-speed Shimano 105 shifting with FSA Gossamer triple ring crankset
— Shimano 105 cassette
— Selle Royal Seta M saddle

*Seat angle is actual
**Toptube is measured from the center of the headtube horizontally back to the top of the effective extension of the seattube
***Standover height is based on the largest size tire that will fit the bike, not necessarily the included size tire
